NFL fantasy news

Dallas Cowboys impending free-agent RB DeMarco Murray would likely re-sign with the Cowboys if the offer they make him is equal or similar financially to offers he receives from other teams in free agency, according to league sources. Murray is expecting to have a ‘vigorous’ free-agent market for his services. He made $1.4 million last year, which ranked 23rd among running backs, and he led the league with 1,845 rushing yards on 392 carries in 2014.

Tip: Murray had an excellent 2014 season for his fantasy owners. Dallas had one of the top offensive lines in the league to help pave running lanes for him, too, so we can see why he'd favor remaining in Dallas. Regardless of where Murray lands this year, he's likely to remain an RB1 worth drafting in the first round, despite injury concerns.

Florida State University QB Jameis Winston is visiting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tuesday, March 3.

Tip: If Winston is drafted by the Buccaneers with the top pick, he is still a risky QB option in 2015. He should be considered a No. 2 QB option in 2015 if he wins the starting job for whoever drafts him.

Denver Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas has the non-exclusive franchise tag, which means Thomas can have talks with other teams but those teams must supply two draft picks to the Broncos if Thomas signs with another club.

Tip: Thomas is still worth every penny of the $12.823 million salary he would get in 2015 and is a solid WR1 option.

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson’s agent has been given permission to seek a trade, and Johnson will be cut if a deal cannot be worked out. The Texans will save $8.825 million against the salary cap if Johnson is traded or cut.

Tip: Johnson caught 85 passes for 936 yards last season, and depending on what team he plays for in 2015, he could re-establish himself as a steady fantasy contributor, especially in leagues that award points per catch.
